Madalin Cars Multiplayer: the Madalin stunt game with other drivers on the map
Madalin Stanciu's stunt car games all share one idea: a huge flat map, a garage of supercars with the badges filed off, and no objective except the ramps. Madalin Cars Multiplayer is the one that added other people. It arrived after Madalin Stunt Cars 2 and before the 2019 game officially titled Madalin Stunt Cars 3, and because it was the third Madalin game to reach the web, most game sites file it under the Stunt Cars 3 name. That is the build served on this page: three maps, a garage that runs to dozens of cars, a paint picker, and a multiplayer lobby where you can join a room or open one of your own.
The driving is the point. The cars are fast and a little floaty, the handbrake throws the back end out, and the nitro turns a long straight into a launch. Each map is a different playground: a desert airstrip ringed by mesas with a loop and a row of ramps, a shipping yard where the ramps are built out of container stacks under the cranes, and an open country road for anyone who would rather cruise flat out than fly. Nothing is timed, nothing is locked, and flipping the car costs one press of R. The build here is the Unity WebGL version served from madalinstuntcars3.org, so it loads in the page without a launcher, though it is a 45 MB download the first time and wants a laptop or desktop rather than a phone.
Controls & mechanics
| Action | Control | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Drive | Arrow keys or WASD | Throttle, brake and reverse, steering left and right |
| Handbrake | Space | Locks the rear wheels for a slide; tap it into a corner, hold it for a spin |
| Nitro | Shift | A burst of speed for long straights and the run-up to a big ramp |
| Camera | C | Cycles the chase, cockpit and far views |
| Reset | R | Flips the car back onto its wheels where it landed |
| Garage | Back to CarSelect, top left | Returns to the car, colour and map pickers without reloading |
Getting more out of the maps
- Nitro before the ramp, not on it: A boost that starts on the ramp face pitches the nose up and the car backflips. Spend the nitro on the straight, let go a car-length before the lip and the car leaves the ramp flat.
- Steer in the air with the arrows: The car keeps answering left and right while airborne, and throttle or brake tilts it. A small correction just before you land turns a roll into a clean four-wheel touchdown.
- Pick the car for the map: The long low supercars are fastest on the airstrip; the shorter ones turn tighter between the container stacks and survive the landings better. Try three before you settle.
- Rooms are for showing off, not racing: Multiplayer has no finish line. The fun is the loop full of other cars and copying a jump someone else just landed. Open your own room if the public ones are empty.
Key features
- Three open maps: Desert airstrip, shipping yard and country road, each with its own ramps, loops and long straights, and no walls to keep you on the road.
- A real garage: Dozens of cars modelled on well-known supercars and muscle cars, with a colour picker, and every one unlocked from the start.
- Rooms with other drivers: Join a public room or host one and share the map with other players; single player is one click away if you would rather have it to yourself.
Game info
- Title: Madalin Cars Multiplayer
- Developer: Madalin Games
- Category: Stunt Driving
- Platform: Web browser (HTML5)
- Build: Unity WebGL, about 45 MB, served from madalinstuntcars3.org
Pro tip: The airstrip loop is easier than it looks if you enter it fast and stop steering. Line the car up on the straight, hold nitro until the loop begins, then keep the wheel dead centre all the way round; any steering input at the top of the loop is what throws the car off the track.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the real Madalin Stunt Cars 3?
It is Madalin Cars Multiplayer, the Madalin game released between Stunt Cars 2 and the 2019 game officially titled Stunt Cars 3, and the build almost every game site serves under the Stunt Cars 3 name. The 2019 build is locked to the developer's own website, so we serve this one and say so. Madalin Stunt Cars 2 is on the site as well.
What are the controls?
Arrow keys or WASD to drive, Space for the handbrake, Shift for nitro, C to change the camera and R to reset the car. The garage link in the top left takes you back to the car and map pickers.
Does the multiplayer still work?
The Multiplayer button lists the rooms that are open and lets you host one. Rooms depend on the developer's servers and on other people being online; if the list is empty, host a room or play single player.
Why does it take a while to start?
The Unity build is about 45 MB and the engine compiles it in the browser before the title screen appears. Twenty seconds on a laptop is normal the first time; after that the browser keeps a copy and it starts faster.
Does it work on a phone?
It is a keyboard game built for desktop browsers, and the 3D maps are heavy for a phone. A laptop, desktop or a Chromebook with a keyboard is the way to play it.
